Abstract: type="graphical">

Climate change is one of the key challenges for the future of agriculture and food. Agriculture both contributes to and suffers from climate change. The interaction between both is of substantial complexity; the need for action is urgent and sometimes stakeholders lack scientific evidence or political will to agree on solutions. There are different lenses through which to address the interface between agriculture and climate change: mitigation, adaptation, resilience, sustainable intensification and civic response. However none of these directions of desirable action would provide the only right answer on their own. There is a need for multiple solutions and aligned action at every governance level involving all actors in the food system: farmers, food industry, consumers and regulatory institutions.
